volleyball tournament weekend
The property was spotless and check in a breeze. We loved the location, it is right down the road from the Cedar Point sports complex. The neighborhood was quiet and the house had everything we needed.

Wonderful house and amazing customer service
We took the trip for the kids to go to the Kalahari waterpark. The house is beautiful, clean and very well stocked with everything you need! Being a host myself, the most important part is the customer service! I want to give a shout out to Nick! We had to contact him on Saturday at 9pm and let me tell you this! He answered the phone within one ring and immediately took care of what we need it! That definitely earned my loyalty to this property when returning to the area! Also, the location it is great; very nice neighborhood, safe, close to amazing Italian restaurants and just 7 minutes from the waterpark. I highly recommend! Nick, again thank you! Keep up the amazing work! You really made us feel cared for and important! Will return and will recommend to everyone! Sincerely, Codruta

Fun
We made a little girls trip with myself, my daughter, and my mom for my daughter’s nationals softball tournament in Sandusky back in July. The house was perfect for the 3 of us and we had a great time. It has a nice little patio in the back but the inside space was was perfect for relaxing in the evening.

Cute cottage with plenty of room
It was just the two of us so there was plenty of room. I was particularly drawn to the big living room, backyard with grill and the laundry room. This stay was only part of our trip, so to be able to wash our clothes and continue on with 2nd half was wonderful. Being able to walk down to the playground and beach was definitely a plus. Can’t wait to visit again.

Cozy and Comfortable
As described plus more. Very cozy and minutes from the private beach. Check-in was seemless and the communication was spot on. No hiccups. Our only issue was figuring out light switches! The neighbors were even great...very friendly. The back patio was comfortable and perfect for our group of 4. This property made our little weekend Cedar Point trip so much better. Highly recommend!
